The mediaplayer in Digikam depended on media-libs/qtav, which has been removed recently, see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=506c569b5dd51f8a925b9492c2d96e81567b0abf However, qtav has been added to Digikam's source tree a while back, see https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/core/libs/video/qtav The mediaplayer can therefore simply be enabled using a cmake flag. Patch attached. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 865489 [details, diff] Patch to enable mediaplayer in digikam-8.1.0
ftr this is probably better than using the qtav package given its own upstream declared itself unmaintained[1], while this bundled version seems to be maintained by digikam (haven't tried but *seems* they fixed e.g. bug #834386 -- on that note, patch is likely missing dependencies like at least ffmpeg) [1] https://github.com/wang-bin/QtAV/commit/8bb780215bcd4a16d098a2a913d01f83b16193d7
Created attachment 886807 [details] digikam-8.2.0-r1.ebuild I've attached an updated ebuild for digikam-8.2.0 which adds the mediaplayer via a use-flag and fixes its dependencies.
Created attachment 889084 [details] digikam-8.3.0-r1.ebuild It's so convenient to have a possibility to view short mp4 videos in digikam. Why isn't it in the tree? I ported the ebuild which was attached to 8.3.0-r1 and built it. Works fine. Let's commit it to the tree.
Created attachment 892015 [details] qtmultimedia dep
Agreed that the official ebuild should be updated. This was difficult to figure out. I had to add a dependency to qtmultimedia[widgets] because I don't have a full QT/KDE install (awesomewm). Attached updated ebuild.

Unfortunately this is by far not complete. Where do you pass portaudio or pulseaudio option to cmake args? No linking to either? If it is just RDEPEND swappable, then it would only be in RDEPEND? Where do you handle conflict with opengl IUSE cmake arg?
